The perfect 10 minutes of entertainment fell on my way home from work. NPR's Melissa Block reported on the lesser known side of comedian/ actor Steve Martin. He started playing the banjo at age 17, and truly has a passion for it. He writes his own music and just came out with a CD called The Crow. On it he plays both the three finger picking style AND clawhammer! I couldn't believe it! Listen to the interview here - Steve Martin: Comedian Takes Banjo Seriously

HI there!
You are on to something! I LOVE Steve Martins' banjo playing- very talented. I have him on my ITunes in my studio- some old comedy skits, including the banjo- it's such fun to listen to while creating- keeps things light and moving along!
You're work is beautiful, I'm glad you are following my blog, and I would love to follow yours also ;>
Thanks
Laura Guptill
